Am planning to get a modem/router where I can insert Yoodo sim card in. Planning to subscribe to Yoodo internet 50-100GB. Can anyone recommend me a reasonably good modem/router? Thanks

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Mar 30 2019, 02:06 PM) The best 4G modem router in the market now is the Huawei B618 but it is expensive. Thanks blacktubi. Will do some investigation on the price etcIf you don't care too much about speed, you can consider TP-Link MR6400 or MR200. The only different is Wireless AC on the MR200.  |

The only different is Wireless AC on the MR200. Need help please. I have narrowed down my choices to TP-link MR200 or Huawei E5186 or Huawei E5577. Having read reviews, it seems that Huawei is better than TP but am not sure how true it is if I'm using it in Malaysia under Yoodo (part of Celcom internet). Huawei E5577 was recommended by someone in Yoodoo website (that's why I'm considering it) but am not sure how does it compare to my other 2 choices above. Also, read that Huawei E5186 is better than TP-link MR200 but for a IT noob like me, maybe not so advisable to get Huawei? Even for Huawei E5186, there's several types like E5186-22a, 61a. How do I choose? With regards, to speed, if I can get at least 4Mbps I'm ok. Am really at a loss.  Any help is appreciated.This post has been edited by abcn1n: Mar 30 2019, 05:00 PM |

QUOTE(OOKAS @ Apr 1 2019, 10:00 AM) On hardware specs , E5186 is better than TP-LInK MR200, since E5186 support CAT6 network which maximum download speed can up to 300Mbps, but of course your Telco need to provide this speed also lah, for now 300Mbps download speed still hard to get in Malaysia. MR200 is CAT4, maximum download speed is 150Mbps. Thanks OOKAS. Am likely going for the TP-Link MR200 then.But one thing need to know that, seems most Huawei E5186 are imported Telco set, mean there are not official warranty by Huawei Malaysia, also warranty terms only 1 to 12 months (depends on seller). Not like MR200, which have official 3 years warranty by TP-LINK Malaysia. E5577 is a portable router, not same range with above two. |

OOKAS or anyone, was trying to get the TP-Link MR200 but the store only had TP-Link MR400. Is it ok to get TP-Link MR400 instead? From 4gltemall comparison, MR400 seems to be better but when I looked at the buyer reviews on Lazada, nobody reviewed on MR400 but plenty of good reviews on MR200.

QUOTE(OOKAS @ Apr 3 2019, 10:42 AM) Hi, MR400 is AC1200 and MR200 is AC750, mean MR400 can have higher maximum wireless speed compare to MR200. Other major specs are same. Still not seeing many reviews is because MR200 already in market for almost 3 years, but MR400 is just newly launched last month. Thanks |

Am using TP-link MR400. But only have 1 bar signal (both inside and outside house regardless of which telco I use). Is there anyway I can increase the bar signals to 2 or 3 ?
